no, my complaint is you´re bypassing the entire hardware sound circuit and sticking with the software when the main problem with ipods and ipads is the other way around, its the software thats failing you, not the hardware, i really hate ipods, not becuase i hate apple (which i do, but thats another story), its becuase i´ve allways seen how they pick out some of the best hardware componentes in terms of amps, dacs and general build, and then put them togather in such a piss poor way, and then slap on a closed proprietary system that cripples it even further, its like going to the market, buying the freshest veggies, the best quality meats, then letting a 5 year old cook the stew with playdoe, and then letting him take a crap inside the pot, the USB dac on the ipad is a joke, you´re replacing the hardware component when the real problem is caused by the software,
